β-glucosidase activity. β-glucosidase activity of lactic acid bacteria strains isolated from wheat germ, measured in terms of p-nitrophenol released from p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (p NPG) substrate according to the protocol described by De Angelis et al. [10]. One unit (U) of enzyme activity was defined as the amount of β-glucosidase that released 1 μmol of p-nitrophenol from the substrate p NPG per milliliter per min under the assay conditions. The aggregate data of the strains are shown in a box-plot. The center line of the box represents the median (□), the top and bottom of the box represent the 25th and 75th percentile of the data, respectively. The top and bottom of the bars represent the 5th and 95th percentile of the data, respectively.
